WALKING-CANE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 373,049, dated November 15, 1887.

Application tiled May 14, 1886. Serial No. 202,154. (No model.)

To all whom, t may concern.-

Beit known that I, OLE H. BYEING., a citizen of the United States, residingin the city and county of San Francisco, and State of California, have invented a new and useful /Vallting-Cane, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in light-canes;77 and it consists in providing a jointed cane with a chamber supplied with a burner for gasoline or wax string or taper and a receptacle for matches. A

My invention will be more readily understood by reference to the accompanying drawings and the letters referring thereto.

Figure 1 is an elevation showing a broken cane. Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the same. Fig. 3 is an elevation of an ordinary wax string or taper; Fig. 4t, an elevationl of the upper section ot' a cane. Fig. 5 is a sectional view of the same, with gasoline-pipe J for Wick-tube and gasoline-holder. Fig. 6 is a sectional view showing the same. Fig. 7shows the sectionof a cane with a gasoline-burner attached. Fig. 8 is a sectional View of the same; and Fig. 9 is asectional View of modification, showing a cane with a lens attached for the purpose of concentrating the rays oflight in a beam, to be used as a dark lantern. Thefollowingis the construction of the same: In Fig. 1, A represents the upper section of a jointed cane; B, the joint-piece; C, the lower section of the cane; D, the thurnopiece for the spring taper-holder; V, the spring. In Fig. 2'the same parts are shown and the chamber E, suitable for matches, and the taper F. In Fig. 4 a different form is shown of the upper section of the cane, which is explained by Fig. 5, which shows a chamber, K, in the head to hold matches, and one in the `upper section of the cane to hold the gasoline-pipe for burner.

Fig. G shows a sectional View of the gasoline-pipe J and burnerH and wick I removed from the cane shown in Fig. 5.

Figs. 7 and 8 show a different style of burner, such as I employ in some canes, but of wellknown construction.

In the inodiication, Fig. 9, a cane is shown with a handle containing lthe lens l?, which may be brought overthe opening S by simply turning the handle O, thus allowing a beam of lightto be thrown out similarly to the action of a dark lantern. Ihe perlorations T admit air for supporting combustion. These perforations, in combination with corresponding openings, V, shown in the outer case, may be increased or diminished in number as required. The set-screw NV is shown as one mode of setting the handle when it is required to hold the same steadily as a light or dark cane.

The cane shown in Fig. 9 is designed for the use of policemen and others requiring dark lanterns. It is more convenient of use than the ordinary dark lantern.

These canes may be lighted by coal-oil, can1- phene, or any other well-known lighting material'applicable to the purpose.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1S

As an improved article of manufacture, a walking-cane adapted to receive a lighting device and having a movable handle or handpiece carrying a lens, and au inner tube having an aperture adapted to register with the said lens when the handle is turned, substantially as specied.
